It was only a matter of time before Hopeless Lingerie introduced a collection designed specifically with the bride in mind. This may seem ironic especially since previous collections by Hopeless have been inspired by horror films...not that you would know by looking at these darling pieces. The latest collection is called The Mirror, and according to designer Gaby Adamidis it was inspired by the duality of good and evil within a character in the film The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. It's always fun to hear where a designer finds his or her inspiration! Of course it wouldn't be a Hopeless collection without a few romantic details here and there, particularly with the ruffles and little bows.
We just ordered some favorites from this collection for Faire Frou Frou, which will hopefully arrive in about a month. Let us know if you have a favorite!

We've been a fan of Mint Siren for years, so it's fun to catch up and see what new goodies this fabulous UK label has been working on. The Winter 2010/Spring 2011 season is a touch risque,mixed with sophistication and style. We wouldn't expect anything less from designer Josefine Wing. There are actually more pictures from the Spring 2011 season on their website, but we just picked our favorites to feature here! We hope you enjoy the eye-candy!

We have been waiting so patiently (6 months to be exact) to share the news that La Fée Verte is now being carried at Faire Frou Frou! As we expand our Frou Frou Lounge (the loungewear section, that is) we keep in mind fabulous items such as those you see above that work not only as intimates but as outerwear. We see potential in almost every style for an outerwear look...we are almost inclined to do a post doing just that. It's one thing to see La Fée Verte in pictures, but to see it in person is equally, if not more invigorating. When you see how beautifully constructed each item is, it's almost hard to believe the price-point. Seriously, we're seeing some incredible Carine Gilson-esque looks at prices many more people can afford (though no disrespect to the art of Carine Gilson). We love that! We love that La Fée Verte is a brand that aims to pass along the luxury look to its customers at a price that the luxury consumer can swallow. That being said, we are happy that this brand has a new home in Faire Frou Frou.

If you suddenly feel the urge to book a trip to Miami Beach and lay poolside at the Raleigh Hotel, you are not alone. The Spring 2011 Zinke collection was designed with Miami in mind; specifically the sunny destination spot Collins Avenue. Naturally a few of the pieces in the new collection are named after famous Miami hotels (the Carlyle, the Raleigh...) and every piece will have you yearning for sunny days and swaying palm trees. This season the Zinke designers Arin & Jessie were inspired by the "energy, vibrancy and art deco architecture" of Miami which translates in their cheerful use of color: pool blue, flamingo pink, sand dollar ivory and chartreuse green.
The new arrivals are already at Faire Frou Frou and selling quickly! You can purchase those new items here.

British lingerie label Fleur of England is consistently a vision of class and style. The new Sweet Nothings collection is no exception, with its undeniably feminine silhouettes and romantic details. Although at first glance these pieces appear to be part of a bridal collection, they really are a lovely option for any woman, whether betrothed or not. The romper and short kimono are the standout pieces, but that may simply be due to their innerwear-as-outerwear styling options. Most of the collection is made from a combination of satin and silk georgette with lace trim. If you are familiar with Fleur of England, you will recognize these classic shapes that she fully reinterprets each season. Sweet Nothings are not only the lovely words you may whisper to your loved-one, but also the collection you will want to wear when expressing those sentiments!

It feels like Spring has definitely arrived at Faire Frou Frou, especially with the pretty colors and new merchandise filling the boutique. During a bit of downtime at the shop we engaged in our favorite pastime; taking pictures of the store! Here are a few pictures we snapped of the lovely little details that make us smile.

When the bright spots of yesteryear are reinterpreted for today's woman, the results can be quite exquisite! That is the case with the latest lingerie designer to enter the scene: Whitney Galitz of Good Night Gilda. This line was created specifically with the buxom bosom in mind, and as you can see, it's vintage-inspired. As a former D-cup gal, the designer knows that far too often the larger-busted ladies don't get as much of a selection in the world of luxury lingerie. In this case you get products made from luxurious fabrics, fine trims and lots of love (per Whitney's mission statement).

Good Night Gilda is manufactured here in Los Angeles, and will be available in stores this June 2011. If you can't wait that long, during April 2011 the designer will launch her online store on her website. We're excited to hear what you think of this darling line!
